80m CW Contest - 29th November 2023

Thanks to those who took part in our last 80m contest of 2023. The full results are now online. Congratulations to 9A1AA for topping the table, and also to G4ZFE for leading the QRP pack. Thanks also to Greg W1KM for working hard for 3 QSOs. (We're sorry that the contest times don't suit working NA.) Some of you are missing out on valuable points by not working our two BONUS Stations. Only you can decide if it is worth stopping a Run to search for these stations worth 15pts each. Thanks to David EI5KG and Dean G4WQI for operating EI5G and G5GEI this week. In the new League Table, after 3 months, GM4JYB leads the SSB and Mixed-Mode sections, while 9A1AA leads the competitive CW section. We hope this League is stimulating some friendly competition. The 80m contests start again in January after the Christmas break, with the first SSB contest on Wednesday 3rd January 2024. 73 Tim G4FJK UKEICC Adjudicator
